[issue230] kmail shows signature as green even though root ca not trusted
New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh@intevation.de>:

I have a mail signed by a certificate whose root CA is not marked as trusted.
KMail shows that signature as green. I am not asked whether I do trust that
root CA and it is not listed in ~/.gnupg/trustlist.txt.

If I enable the "allow clients to mark keys as trusted" option in the gpgme
backend configuration dialog in kleopatra, I am asked whether the certificate
can be trusted.

Now, it's probably intended that I am not asked about the trust if that option
is not enabled, but I doubt it's intended that signatures from untrusted CAs are
green.
